We’re asking what’s possible for health, natural disaster and weather resilience, learning, and economic opportunity.

Google is using AI to speed up scientific breakthroughs that help people all over the world. These tools are already detecting diseases earlier, predicting natural disasters like floods and wildfires, and breaking down language barriers. They’re also helping students learn better and supporting workers as jobs change. By working with experts everywhere, Google hopes to use this technology to solve some of the world's toughest problems.

Today, we reached a significant milestone that stands as a testament to decades of AI research and advancement: Google technologies now support more than 300 languages, spoken by 7 billion people — representing 86% of the global population. To help us understand how these tools are driving real-world opportunity, we also released new interactive insights today with our AI & Economy ATLAS, the most comprehensive look at how real people are using AI globally. This comes on top of a raft of key AI advances in science to benefit people over just the past few weeks:

  • We mapped the predicted impact of all 9 billion possible single letter genetic changes across the human genome with AlphaGenome Atlas and made it openly available to researchers.
  • We introduced WeatherNext 3, our most advanced and accurate global weather model, delivering 50% more accurate precipitation forecasts a day or more ahead — and it’s already in use in our products.
  • We brought together data on global health, food security, and socioeconomics into a single Planetary Prediction Engine to forecast planetary crises — this has already been used in the ongoing Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in the U.S. in identifying vulnerable communities across 21 CDC health indicators.
